Ebay? I mean, forget toast with Mary's image on it. (Or maybe he could be cloned, if life was a bad sci fi movie). Or heaven forbid, someone like Bryan Sykes would analyse it for which of the 7 Daughters of Eve was his foremother.

Still, America is not exactly the Sahara desert (no offence to any Saharan hospitals), medical care would not be that far away. I would think it would be more of an issue when he travels overseas. <BR/>This could be spun into a good public health message "get out and donate blood, my fellow Americans".Dragonflyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12759938692575603663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20056539.post-52825615697714517812009-01-23T02:33:00.000-08:002009-01-23T02:33:00.000-08:00PRBCs are only good for like 42 hrs.

It would make no sense for the reasons noted above. Also, at least one ambulance always travels in the presidential motorcade. Finally, that graphic is likely to be fiction, since it has other information that is either false (the drivers are trained by the Secret Service) or far too specific to have been leaked (details of the armor and performance).Jordanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06006402070238977616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20056539.post-48827646655807179322009-01-21T17:42:00.000-08:002009-01-21T17:42:00.000-08:00But we know that the police had samples of OJ's bl...But we know that the police had samples of OJ's blood so that they could frame him.

They also commandeered blood of the proper type at the hospital. Of course, a woman needed the blood, but the SS wouldn't release it until the parade had left its zone.<BR/><BR/>No idea if there's any accuracy there--just an interesting thought.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20056539.post-7576311466328797652009-01-21T05:55:00.000-08:002009-01-21T05:55:00.000-08:00I can understand why, with all the weight of inche...I can understand why, with all the weight of inches thick steel, but that thing is not making a quick getaway from danger. 0-60 in 15 secs would be considered slow as molasses for a low end family sedan.
